GENERAL INFORMATION.

1.1. Digester Gas System Maintenance: Joint Base Lewis-McChord started operation of a new Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) on August 2016. This WWTP has installed a digester gas system that captures and uses the gases from the anaerobic process as the primary fuel for the hot water boilers. Prior to use, biogas is scrubbed of hydrogen sulfide using an iron sponge system. This equipment requires, per manufacturer recommendations, to be service twice per year.

1.2 Background: The JBLM Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is a municipal wastewater treatment facility consisting of preliminary treatment, primary sedimentation, biological nutrient removal (BNR), tertiary membrane filtration, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, and solids processing. Construction of the WWTP was completed in 2017 as an upgrade to the existing Solo Point WWTP (NPDES Permit WA-002195-4) to replace outdated equipment/processes and to meet projected needs through 2030. The WWTP has been designed to meet the current NPDES effluent, as well as to produce Class A reclaimed water and nitrogen removal, hence BNR in accordance with 40 CFR Part 503.

1.3. Location of Work. The WWTP is located at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. JBLM is a United States military reservation located next to the old plant on Solo Point Rd in DuPont, Washington.

1.4. Hours of operation: The contractor shall perform all services during normal duty hours 0700-1630, Monday through Friday, However, the plant is staffed 7 days per week and will function 24/7 upon final acceptance, which will be more accessible and convenience for the contractor to perform any emergency task, if necessary. The contractor shall coordinate with the COR and he/she with the plant supervisor for any jobs that requires to work out of the 0700-1630. Work performed outside this schedule, is a sole responsibility of the contractor the wages pay to his/her employees. The government is not authorize to cover for wages beyond the normal duties hours.

1.5 Description of Services. The contractor shall plan, program, administer, manage, and execute the work necessary to provide the specified services and maintenances for the anaerobic digester gas treatment system, including a scrubbing media regeneration and scrubbing replacement when necessary, including two (2) vessels with iron sponge scrubbing media, controls and sensors; see Appendix A. The contractor shall provide personnel, management, equipment, tools, transportation, and other items and, necessary to perform preventive maintenance of identified system components as defined in this PWS at JBLM.

This service will include, but not limited to: preventive maintenance (parts lubricated; motors and pumps alignments; electrical terminal tightness; check for leaks; instruments calibration, if needed; inspection and test of the gauges; gauges and valves calibration and certifications; gas burner inspection and maintenance; and any other preventive maintenance not mentioned in this document) and corrective maintenance (the repair of faulty instruments or components found during the service visit) and the service call due to emergency situation, like a sudden shutdown; Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) gases levels suddenly sky rocking, or any discrepancy authorized by the contracting officer (KO) and/or the contracting officer representative (COR).

The contractor shall comply with all applicable Department of Defense, Army, Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, codes, technical manuals, and acceptable commercial practices in the delivery of required services.

The system includes the following:

H2S removal system consisting of two (2) H2S removal vessels and piping between the vessels for lead/lag operation. This system and components are designed for outdoor operation in a Class I, Division 1 area.

Gas compression skid consisting of an inlet moisture/particulate filter and gas compressor. This system and components are designed for outdoor operation in a Class I, Division 1 area.

Media regeneration system consists of a skid-mounted regenerative air blower. This system and components are designed for outdoor operation in a Class I, Division 1 area. PH control solution system consisting of a skid mounted mixing/storage tank, pumps, relief and actuated valves. This system and components are designed for outdoor operation in a Class I, Division 1 area. Remote mounted gas conditioning system control panel, which provides power and control to the system. The control panel is designed for outdoor operation in an unclassified area. Gas is supplied to the gas conditioning system through a 4” butterfly valve and enters the skid-mounted inlet moisture/particulate filter. The filter is sized for 51 scfm and removes 99% of 3 micron and larger particulates and liquid droplets from the gas stream. Condensation formed in this filter is collected in the bottom and removed via a passive condensate drain. The gas then exits the gas compression skid, passes through the H2S removal vessels, before returning to the skid.

A pressure/vacuum relief valve is provided for installation in the lead lag piping for each of the vessels. Condensation formed in the H2S removal vessels is automatically removed via passive condensate drains.

The digester gas treatment conditioning system is designed to clean and dry up to 51 scfm of gas compressed to 1 psig.

Each H2S removal vessel is designed to contain around 100 cubic feet of iron sponge media. This equates to an approximate media weight of 5,400 lbs. The iron sponge (iron impregnated wood chips) is the only media within the vessel that will absorb H2S.

1.6 Working Conditions. Work is conducted in an industrial setting at the WWTP facility. JBLM operations strive to meet the requirements of the ANSI/ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. The contractor’s service delivery must conform to related laws, rules and regulations, including JBLM requirements.

1.7 Sustainable Acquisition. In order to comply with federally mandated sustainable acquisition requirements and Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of the Army (DA) Green Procurement Program (GPP) policies, Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) requires the purchase, supply, and use of environmentally preferable products and services. Program elements include: recovered material products, energy and water efficient products, alternative fuels and fuel efficiency, bio-based products, non-ozone depleting substances, and other environmentally preferable products.

1.8. Quality Control and Quality Assurance. The policy of the Government for Contractor Quality Control and Government Quality Assurance and applicable definitions are provided in the Federal Acquisition Regulations in Part 46.

“QC is a set of activities for ensuring quality in products. The activities focus on identifying defects in the actual products produced. QC aims to identify (and correct) defects in the finished product. Quality control, therefore, is a reactive process. The goal of QC is to identify defects after a product is developed and before it's released.

QA is a set of activities for ensuring quality in the processes by which products are developed. QA aims to prevent defects with a focus on the process used to make the product. It is a proactive quality process. The goal of QA is to improve development and test processes so that defects do not arise when the product is being developed.

The Contractor shall develop and maintain an effective quality control process to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS. The Contractor shall develop a Quality Control Plan and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure against recurrence of defective services. The Quality Control Plan (QCP) must be reviewed and accepted by the KO prior to contract start date.

1.9. Performance Evaluation Meeting. Performance evaluation meetings may be required when requested by the Government or contractor.

1.10. Government Remedies. The contracting officer (KO) will follow FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items (Oct 2018), for contractor's failure to perform satisfactory services or failure to correct non-conforming services.

(See CLIN X004, required at least once a year, Invoicing is authorized once a year.

********* If the H2S concentration raises above 250 ppmv, the plant supervisor will initiate an emergency process via the COR (COR is the only authorized source of information with the contractor for all task involving the digester gas system). At this point the COR will notify the contractor and they shall be on site within 48 hours working hours, ready to initiate the scrubbing media regeneration IAW Manufacture’s recommendations or its replacement, if this is the case.
